Shoe Styling Rules: How to Style Jeans and Loafers

Ciao everyone! This is part 1 of my styling loafers series! There were so many ways to style loafers that I had to make two videos to style loafers. This one is all about how to style loafers with denim - it is not a do's and don'ts for styling jeans and loafrs, but I do hope it gives you ideas for outfits with loafers and denim!

*I am sharing links to my loafers in the video below because I truly love them and have been getting questions about them on IG! But I hope the biggest takeaway from this video is learning style TOOLS to use what you already have, and not buying more STUFF. My wardrobe is specific to me and my tastes - yours will be different! And that is great because fashion is about creativity and expression! NB: some of these items are affiliate links and I will make a small commission if you make a purchase. This is part of my strategy to make valuable slow fashion content free. A lot of these items listed below are not the actual product because most of my items are either very old or secondhand, so I've tried to find the most similar item.
Thank you for watching! xx
On this channel, I share #slowfashion​​​​​ and #sustainablefashion​​​​​ tips that center around how to #shopyourcloset, and restyling pieces you already own. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption​​​​​, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.
Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I'm so grateful you share this space with me!

Yes! I love styling videos for loafers! I don't know what it is about them but I find myself struggling to style them

[@christinamanucy8037]

Yay! ❤ Loafers (& oxfords). These are all perfect variations of a style uniform. It was so helpful to see the side by side outfits and the explanation of why one version didn’t work as well. Sometimes I like to wear my loafers with a brightly colored sock to add playfulness, but I find it can be tricky to pull off without feeling like you’re advertising your ankles, lol.

[@mf3610]

Defining loafers and drivers was so helpful

[@SmidBeach]

Even though I'm more of a skirt-and-blouse gal and hardly use my jeans, I live in loafers. Thanks for sharing!

[@sixdinnersyd]

Love all my loafers! My go to is Def showing the ankle!

[@cjack-caldeira3363]

I’m in my comfortable + practical shoe era … and I am here for this content 😂😍🙏🏽

[@kathieovereem2555]

Thank you, I'm really struggling to style my loafers. I almost put them up for sale online this week! But my partner talked me out of it because they are so classic. I'm looking forward to part two.

[@luluvaldy9985]

Missed your Sunday video, so I was really happy to watch this one....and I just love loafers!

[@xcessa]

Love this deep dive type of video

[@nataliacarinhosa6803]

This video was something what I needed!! Last month I bought my first pair of loafers and I can’t wait to get them with some of your outfit ideas!! I’m looking forward to seeing next part!! Best wishes from Poland!

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Thank you! This is very timely. I've been meaning to get some loafers for a while now; not tooo masculine, not tooo heavy - and of course, comfortable, wide with a slight heel. I love the look of loafers with a nice button shirt like you're wearing, and I liked that you mentioned the flare leg looks great with them and i love your pointing out the softer blouse with that. Your hair looks so pretty, Alyssa! Hi from Surrey!

[@jeannesnodgrass8073]

I wear loafers a lot so this was very interesting and useful!💕

[@sharonabel7221]

Perfect timing for this advice! Thanks!

[@iahorvath]

Wonderful tips on how to style loafers. I have always struggled with proportion with these. Thank you!

[@yvonneroche3897]

I have a pair of Burgundy Penny Loafers and up to now did not know how to style them. Thanks for all the tips. Looking forward to how you will style them with Skirts.

[@gracef3693]

Love, love, love my La Canadienne Reese loafers - chunky yet beautiful and comfortable. Have trekked all over Germany in them. First pair was a patent midnight blue (still going strong); second pair is classic black leather. I pair them with cropped jeans and ankle socks, and knee highs with boot cut jeans, skirts and shorts. Highly recommend and very much enjoyed your video, Alyssa.

[@carlenec6209]

Love this video Alyssa. Shoes so often make or break an outfit so its great to see various options for styling a chunkier shoe.

[@suzanne9581]

I’ve been waiting for this video!!! Thank you!

[@leahmanderson298]

I literally just received some loafers in the mail! Timely!

[@chicbike]

Great to see loafers back. Been a long time

[@Teverell]

I've just got a new (to me) pair of brown loafers, so this is really great - plenty of ideas for how to style them! Thank you!

[@reneebrody5877]

Love your style❤ i love the vintage Eastland and Bass loafers.

[@gillian2471]

Great Video, I find loafers difficult to style because of the blob at the bottom of the leg effect (you nailed it)!

[@kekskrumel-yu6ds]

Very good video. Thank you so much for this styling ideas.💞

[@ernasomers1487]

Thanks... for all the tips an advice💞

[@magpie1206]

I love these! Only one i wasnt crazy about was red button up shirt it with the cropped jeans threw me off a bit.. it looked a little of place and thrown together..The socks..eh.. everything else I love!

[@rosabald5]

Very interesting and helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@carmenlheureux5435]

I'm taking notes! Not so easy to style those loafers.❤

[@jackiebrown6577]

Great video. Will style my stuff like this!! 😊

[@33Jenesis]

I like jeans fall onto the top of foot and jeans that show ankles while pairing with loafers. The jeans have to be on the fitted side, not wide leg or loose straight. Loafers make feet look smaller therefore I don’t want lots of denim fabric to overpower loafers.

[@giuseppinasanger6410]

This is so helpful, thank you! Can you recommend loafers that don’t HURT and cause blisters??!!

[@Pragmaticpianist]

Where are your super dark wash flare jeans from? Oh my gosh I've been searching high and low for denim with that silhouette!! You look gorgeous and I love your channel ❤

[@94megashark]

Love ya😊

[@sadel21]

I like most of the looks except the light or dark socks with the short jeans. I would go with no show socks in mild weather.

[@melaniemcneil407]

I'd love to wear Oxfords if I could find a well-fitting pair. Much more my style than loafers because of my own proportions. Loafers have always looked clunky and humongous, regardless of style.

[@2021-j2d]

Nothing in this vid appeals to me other than the nice loafers. This channel usually is more pulled together.

[@Anastasia-np1mj]

A light sock and dark loafer … hmmm not really liking it

[@amyclose2232]

Your socks should match your leg (pants) not your shoes.

[@luluvaldy9985]

What about a coloured sock? I think that would be really nice.

[@lynnebarren2410]

This light sock, dark loafer is a girly, preppy sort of look that is young at heart and insouciant - for a light hearted look on the feet 🤓,

[@lynnebarren2410]

This rule does not allow for many valid modern takes on fashion - a little rigid but allows for safe classic styling.

[@sandraking6288]

This was how it’s been done many times over the years - the 50s, 80s etc.
